This version is pickled with shiso (紫蘇, perilla leaf), which gives it its red color and a herbal edge. It's made from Kishu Nanko-bai (紀州南高梅), a plum variety known for thin skin and a soft, juicy flesh. The taste is the classic umeboshi balance: sour and salty up front, with a savory umami underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eThe umeboshi rice ball — umeboshi tucked into rice — is one of the most familiar everyday foods in Japan. Made without additives or sugar, this is the plain, traditional style: just plum, salt, and shiso, the way it has been preserved for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"seto-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKishu (Wakayama), Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUmeboshi (梅干し) — shiso-pickled sour plum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlum variety\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKishu Nanko-bai (紀州南高梅)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIngredients\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlum, salt, shiso — no additives, no sugar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 pieces per jar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNet weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJar size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH 3.5\" × Ø 2.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDietary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGluten free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStorage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCool, dark place; away from heat and humidity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eHow to enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eThe simplest way is with plain rice — one umeboshi in a bowl of rice, or pressed into an onigiri rice ball.
